Naturally, there had to be some dances, and Brade’s nicely controlled Galliard allowed for blistering double tonguings and unusual licks in the winds. The section closer Johannes Vierdanck Canzon featured some poppy rhythm almost never heard outside of techno, and the performance was a stunning display of just what historical performance can be.
